The doctrine of angels has been neglected.

1. Because of the ignorance concerning what the scriptures teaches on the subject 2. Unbe3life in the supernatural including the existence of angels (this was a doctrine of the sadducees, Acts 23:8-9) 3. And fear or superstition concerning the unseen realm of Spirit beings The scriptures declare that God has an everlasting kingdom and in this kingdom there are created spiritual beings called angels. These fall into 2 categories, “good and evil”.

The good angels are concerned with the warfare of Gods people. The evil are out to cause harm to the human race. Angels are agents or messengers. In the old and new testament there are accounts of angels ministering to the people of God. The Lord Jesus Christ spoke often of angels and was ministered to by them (Mark 8:38, 13:32; Matt. 13:41; II Thess. 1:7; John 1:51; and Hebrews 13:22) The order of angels: God is a King who has a universal Kingdom. In this Kingdom there is divine order (Matt. 6:9-10, II Peter 1:11; Hebrews 12:28) this order involves the Eternal God head as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and various angelic beings. There are archangels, principalities, powers, seraphims, cherubims the Angel of the Lord and then also the myrid of angels.

Isaiah the prophet put it this way, “To the Law and to the testimony” if they (spirits from the unseen world) speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them (Isaiah 8:19-20).

Lucifer- Daystar, or Light bearer or Son of the morning. (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Ephesians 2:2) Lucifer is an archangel who was associated with the throne of God as the leader of the worship of God among the angelic hosts.

Through pride and rebellion he fell from this place. (Job 15:15 declares the heavens are not clean in Gods sight behold he putteth no trust in his saints, yea the heavens are not clean in his sight.)

Michael his name means “who is like God” or God like. Four (4) accounts of his activities; Daniel 10:21, 121:1-4; Jude 9, Revelation 12:7-9. Michael is the chief prince of the nation of Israel, his activities are always seen in connection with warfare. With satan and with the resurrection of body. It is believed that he comes with the Lord Jesus in his second coming when the saints are changed over from mortality to immortality (I Thess. 4:16).

Scriptures: Rev. 12: 7-9 and I Thess. 4: 16-18 Gabriel- His name means strength of God. It seems that Gabriel is a prophetic angel, the messenger and interpreter of the prophetic Word concerning the Christ of God. He appeared to Daniel twice and then to Zacharias, John the Baptist father and then to Mary, Jesus’ mother. Each of the visits involved Messianic Revelation. (Daniel 8:16-19, 9: 1-27, 10: 8-11; Luke 1: 19, 26)Gabriel stands in the presence of God and is seen in association with Michael, never with Lucifer.

2 sets of angels Elect angels ( I Tim. 5:21) these are the angels which did not follow Lucifer in his rebellion.

2. fallen angels (II Peter 2:4; Jude 6,9) these are angels which fell by the sin of self will.

Satan’s attempt to hold up blessing (Daniel 10: 3-21) Being aware of satan’s devices (2 Corin. 2:11)

Thrones- Colossians 1:16, Romans 8:38 Thrones are symbolic of the rulership of certain angels in Gods order In Daniel 7:9 thrones are interpreted as the superior princes. The spiritual angels who sit first in the kingdom and they are called in the words of Rabbi, the throne of glory. For so is the way of kings that their princes sit before them, everyone on his throne, according to their

dignity.

Some say thrones or dominions Some say princes or powers Heb 4:16 When we pray we turn to God our heavenly father who rules over all of his thrones as the almighty Heb 4: 14-16 Jesus Christ our great high priest who now ascended and seated at the right hand of God and who as our great high priest serves before God. He is our mediator by whom we have been given access to God enabling us now to approach to the throne of grace.

Eph 2:18
